 | | Open Defence: great they added it!
the beauty of 12.d6 (even if I say so my self) is that it renders the defense by Qb6 quite futile... 12.d6 seems like a Borg tactical shot :) |
|
| Jun-17-09 | | just a kid: Another OD slaughtering... |
|
| Jun-17-09 | | apple pi: What a wierd variation-looks quite bad for black compared to more mainline benoni formations. I like 12.d6! and 13.♘g5! taking full advantage of weaknesses on h7 and e6. |
|
| Jun-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: and against <keypusher> also... |

| | Open Defence: I need to upload the Evans Gambit Game |
|
| Sep-14-09 | | AnalyzeThis: Looks like it was a fun game. |
|
| Sep-14-09 | | schroedingers cat: 3. ... Ne4 what a weird move to play in a correspondence game |
|
| Sep-14-09 | | whiteshark: After 5...f5 black is having a hard time. The Vulture is quasi on his last 'legs'. |
|
| Sep-14-09 | | sneaky pete: Vom Krankenlager des Geiers: why not (once you have played 3... Ne4 and 5... f5) 7... e6 8.0-0 b5
click for larger viewwith (unless something else is indicated) .. Bb7 next and fight like a man? |

| | Open Defence: yup it was a lot of fun....I checked and re-checked 12.d6 a number of times before playing it... |
|
| Sep-15-09 | | whiteshark: Wow, <sneaky pete>, you really looked it up in Bückers book. I only recall that I sent him the game vs Suhrmann some time later and he answered by letter and published the game and his proposals afterwards in his book. I think that the only time a whiteshark game ever made it into a chess theory book. :D |
|
| Sep-15-09 | | sneaky pete: <whiteshark> I didn't look up anything, I don't have that book. Is an early ... b5 what B. recommends here? I just figured, if you play this line you're committed, you can't revert to wishy-washy hoity-toity krammy-whammy semi-slav kind of play, but you have to think up something drastic (and whatever you do, don't castle, the king is safer on e8 than anywhere else on the board; besides, as we all know, only sissies castle). I must confess however, that when I sometimes try to study Bücker's analyses, I always end up with a quaint feeling like I'm lost in some parallel chess universe. |
|
| Sep-15-09 | | whiteshark: <sneaky pete <I didn't look up anything, I don't have that book.>> I don't have it either. Just two small booklets, somewhere in the cellar. Btw, your <once <you> have played 3... Ne4 and 5... f5> caused some confusion, at least to me. :D |

| | Open Defence: < sneaky pete: Vom Krankenlager des Geiers: why not (once you have played 3... Ne4 and 5... f5) 7... e6 8.0-0 b5 > yes, the vulture can be tricky to meet, and yes usually the lines open on the flanks so Black may do best to leave the King in the center.. |
|
| Sep-15-09 | | whiteshark: <12.d6!> is really a great move. I think Spielmann would have liked this <Obstructive Sacrifice> (aka 'Hemmungsopfer') as he'd called it in his book <The Art of Sacrifice in Chess>. |

| | Open Defence: does any one else's Rybka have a problem finding the forced mate with 19.Bh7+ ? that move can be a puzzle too :) |
|
| Sep-19-09 | | whiteshark: <OD> Hmm, strange, but true. |
|
| Sep-19-09 | | whiteshark: <sneaky pete <I must confess however, that when I sometimes try to study Bücker's analyses, I always end up with a quaint feeling like I'm lost in some parallel chess universe.>> Stefan's analyses were always well presented, deep and enjoyable to read. But I won't follow them blindly without counter check. Like statistics, too. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Too fully get the pun, you need to know it's based on a biblical quote from <Hosea> 8:7. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: I think the pun would be just as effective without "vulture". |

 | | MissScarlett: Pun makes no sense at all, but I'm not going to worry about it. |
|
| May-20-20 | | goodevans: <The Vulture> (characterised by 3...Ne4) is a variation of the Benoni that is notoriously difficult to play. It was most popular in the '90s and maybe a little either side. A few of it's most ardent followers seemed to enjoy some success with it but many who tried it soon found themselves in the mire. I'm sure <keypusher> quickly regretted choosing this opening (he had previously done better with it in I Figler vs S Thomson, 2006 at least for the first dozen moves). We should applaud <Open Defence> on the way she calmly and ruthlessly pursued victory. |
|
| May-20-20 | | goodevans: <MissScarlett> I didn't get the pun at first but I checked <Phony Benoni>'s reference (<Hosea> is in the Hebrew bible which explains, even if it doesn't excuse, my ignorance of it). The quote is about the negative consequences of our choices. The pun is doubly apt and a true gem. |
